Chapter 246
Upon hearing this, Rentaro also looked at Luo Mio and scrutinized her carefully.
Although she was a year older than me, she was actually a little shorter... Her slightly long, pure white hair was tied into a whip, and her azure eyes were like the vast blue sea. Her beautiful, somewhat feminine face made her look like a pretty young girl from a distance...
Upon thinking of this, Rentaro quickly shook his head.
Because he once accidentally said in front of Luo Mio that he was like a beautiful girl...
The next day when he went to school, both of his eyes had large, dark purple circles.
Looking at Luo Mio, Rentaro asked.
"So, which direction should we go now?"
"Well..."
Luo Mio looked around and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
Then, the Raven Feather Blade in his hand, which had been sheathed, revealed a sliver of its blade.
The faint sound of swords clanging reached Rentaro's ears.
Then, Luo Mio's voice slowly drifted out.
"Give the area a thorough cleaning!"
Chapter Twenty-Two: I've never seen him actually fight.
"Let's walk a little further; there should be some ruins ahead where we can rest."
In the woods, a lightly dressed man carrying a rifle looked around and spoke.
Beside him was his partner, the "Initiator" who possessed the genes of flying insects.
"Um?!"
The man looked ahead warily. He used to be a member of the army, but he had retired. However, thanks to his excellent combat and reconnaissance abilities in the army, he was ranked among the top 1,000 in the 700,000 police officers.
The rifle in his hand was pointed into the jungle ahead.
Because a strong smell of blood was emanating from inside!
The smell of blood is so strong...
Cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and beads of sweat rolled down his cheeks.
The man walked slowly forward, step by step, because he and his "Initiator" had no strength left to go back and find another place to rest.
So now we have no choice but to take a gamble.
The two took slow, deliberate steps toward the place where a strong smell of blood was coming from.
He swallowed hard and gently pushed aside the weeds and leaves in front of him.
Then the dim space in front of us gradually brightened.
"!"
Upon seeing what lay before them, both the man and his "Initiator" wore expressions of shock.
Among the intertwined bushes were countless mutilated corpses and the blood of Gastrea.
The man bent down and looked at the Gastrea's mangled carcass.
"Such a sharp cut..."
Then his gaze fell upon the weeds and tree trunks around him that had been cut in two, and he could even faintly feel the residual sword energy slicing across his skin.
Such a cut was something he had never seen among the thousand-plus police officers, even among the "facilitators" or "initiators" who were skilled in knife techniques.
"Even I, Lord Tang, probably couldn't make a cut like that..."
My Ido Nagaharu.
IP Ranking: 275
I once had the privilege of working with him on a project.
His and his "Initiator's" sharp swordsmanship are still deeply etched in his mind.
"Could it be... that a team of police officers ranked in the top 200 participated in this Pursuit Plan?"
Looks like I should report this.
The man then took out a communicator.
Just as the man was reporting to his superiors, in this vast forest, not only where the man was now, but also in other places, people discovered the mutilated corpses of Gastrea. The corpses were also cut in half or into countless pieces of flesh by sharp cuts, and the sharp sword energy lingered in the places where they were.
At the First Area Operations Headquarters located in the Tokyo Area, during the Joint Security Conference of Far East Nations (JNSC).
Several windows are displayed on the desktop screen of a large rectangular table.
At the highest point of the long table sat a pure white-clad young girl, who was none other than the Holy Child!
At the tables on either side of her were the Chief Cabinet Secretary and the Minister of Defense.
Behind her are Hoshikage Hisomi and Tendou Kikunojou.
The positions of the man and the other groups are now being transmitted to the screens in the operations conference room by unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that are conducting reconnaissance flights.
Similar reports to those from the man reached the ears of the communications officer.
In the very center of the many windows, the screen window displays Luo Mio holding Crow Feather Katana, along with Rentaro and Enju beside her.
Luo Mio's unstoppable, Sword Aura- wielding figure left the many Chief Cabinet Secretaries and Defense Ministers in the conference room speechless.
Or rather, ever since Luo Mio jumped off the helicopter, they had been watching Luo Mio slaughter Gastrea on the screen. No matter what kind of Gastrea it was or what stage Gastrea, they were all killed with a single strike by Luo Mio, even those at stage IV.
Hoshikage Hisomi stood behind the Holy Child, watching Luo Mio's figure dominating the battlefield on the screen, a look of pride involuntarily appearing in his eyes.
Looking at Luo Mio on the screen, even Tendou Kikunojou's rock-solid face showed a slight wavering.
The others also looked at Luo Mio, exchanging glances, wondering what Luo Mio's background was and where she came from.
After all, it's quite remarkable that someone with the same hair color as the Holy Child, possessing immense strength, and whose identity and origins are all unknown has appeared in the Tokyo Area.
The Holy Child's silver-gray eyes watched Luo Mio's retreating figure and his indifferent expression, a faint smile playing on his lips.
——
"Whoosh!"
In the pitch-black space, a white Sword Aura flashed past Rentaro and Enju like a streak of starlight drawn across the Milky Way.
A massive body collapsed to the ground, leaving only its mangled lower body on the earth.
Rentaro stared at the Gastrea, which had been cut in half, and expressionlessly put away his pistol. Then he glanced at the upper body and the huge head with its gaping maw not far from the corpse.
From the beginning until now, he and Enju have never laid a hand on each other. Every time they discover a Gastrea, the Gastrea's body is already turned into a motionless corpse in the next second.
Sometimes, before she could even clearly see the enemy's face and body, Luo Mio's Crow Feather Katana would already be drawn and slashing.
Along the way, Luo Mio has probably killed several hundred Gastrea.
Such lightning speed, such thunderous power...
Even the true mastery of the Tendo family's sword-drawing technique, the sword demon Tendo Kisara, whom he knew so well, did not possess such terrifying and horrifying sword speed.
And his intuition kept telling him that the true strength hidden by the pure white figure holding the Crow Feather Katana had not yet been revealed.
In his memory, Luo Mio had never truly used her full strength.
Or rather, there is no one yet that would force Luo Mio to use her full strength.
Rentaro's eyes were fixed on Luo Mio's retreating figure, lost in thought...
He didn't know why, but sometimes when he looked at Luo Mio, he felt extremely afraid and terrified...
"What's wrong?"
As if noticing his gaze, Luo Mio looked over with her azure eyes.
"Ah..." Rentaro waved his hand after hearing Luo Mio's question.
"It's nothing... it's just that I feel like Enju and I haven't been able to help you at all Brother Miohua."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio smiled gently.
"Don't worry, there will be things for you to do later."
"Huh?" Rentaro looked at Luo Mio, puzzled. "Wait for me to do it..."
Seeing Rentaro's puzzled expression, Luo Mio smiled and sheathed "Dao Hui".
Then he raised his head and looked towards a certain direction in the sky.
He glanced at it, then turned back to Rentaro and said.
"Let's go, it's time to go find Hiruko Kageyasu."
Chapter Twenty-Three: The Hidden Guy
The operational headquarters of the First Area in the Tokyo Area.
"!"
On the screen, a scene appeared that shocked everyone.
Luo Mio, who was in the center of the screen, raised her head and looked directly at them, or rather, at the camera of the unmanned aerial vehicle.
"He... he saw an unmanned aerial vehicle?"
A high-ranking official standing behind the Holy Child was also stunned and speechless.
The same applies to others. The unmanned aerial vehicles are currently flying at an altitude of 800 meters. In addition, with the optical camouflage on the unmanned aerial vehicles, and in such a dark night, even if they used the latest high-tech long-distance telescopes, it would be impossible for them to see unmanned aerial vehicles with optical camouflage at such a high altitude.
Prior to this, they had heard of a very strange "facilitator" among the police officers.
In every battle, he fights alone, with no sign of his partner, the "Initiator."
At the same time, there is no detailed information in the IP Ranking; only the name is known, and even the ranking is unknown.
But they did not expect that Luo Mio's strength far exceeded their imagination.
Based on the strength that Luo Mio has shown so far, she is undoubtedly already among the top 100 IP Ranking.
Hoshikage Hisomi was standing next to the Holy Child, looked at Luo Mio on the screen, who was looking at the unmanned aerial vehicle, and his mind was also stirred. He understood what Luo Mio meant.
Similarly, the pure white-clad girl also knew what Luo Mio was looking at.
"Notify the police units still in the area and instruct them to do everything in their power to eradicate any remaining Gastrea!"
Some people were puzzled after hearing the girl's command.
Given the current situation, the most important plan is to pursue Hiruko Kageyasu.
But since it was an order issued by the Holy Child, no one else had the courage to object. They then immediately ordered the police forces in the surrounding area to wipe out the remaining Gastrea.
——
"Rentaro, where are we now?"
Enju, who was standing next to him, asked Rentaro.
"Right now, we should be not far from the seaside, and we can vaguely feel that the air is slightly humid."
Rentaro observed the surrounding situation and analyzed it to Enju.
"Um?"
At this moment, Luo Mio, who was standing at the very front, suddenly stopped and looked ahead with cold eyes.
"What's wrong?" Rentaro asked Luo Mio from behind.
Luo Mio turned to the side, revealing half of her body so that Rentaro could see clearly what was in front of him.
"Look."
As Luo Mio stepped aside, Rentaro's eyes turned forward.
"...!" Rentaro slowly opened his eyes wide. "That is..."
In the dark woods a little further ahead, a bright, pale blue light could be seen, flashing rapidly and rhythmically.
Enju, standing next to Rentaro, was also looking at the pale blue shimmering light.
